The Mountain
The Mountain is bounded on the north by the escarpment, on the west and south by hydro corridors and on the east by the old Stoney Creek border roughly at Upper Mount Albion Road. Hamilton Mountain is generally seen as a large and young suburban expanse, but the area boasts quite a rich history which should not be so easily dismissed.
